Demystify the Cloud: Amazon Web Services Basics
About this course
Cloud infrastructure powers nearly every digital interaction today, yet for most professionals AWS remains an opaque set of services that someone else manages. The gap between knowing AWS exists and knowing how to use it confidently is costing teams speed, money, and opportunity. In this course, taught by AWS Certified DevOps Professional Sean Baier, you'll map the core AWS service categories — compute, storage, networking, databases, analytics, machine learning, application integration, security, and governance — to real business problems. You'll provision a Lambda function, query a live dataset in QuickSight, configure an SNS notification pipeline, and set up IAM users with least-privilege access, building practical confidence with each new service. By the end of this course, you'll be able to evaluate AWS services against specific use cases, justify architectural choices to technical and non-technical stakeholders, and take your first steps toward deploying and managing cloud resources independently.
